West Ham will take compensation case to the CAS

West Ham are planning to approach the Court of Arbitration for Sport to appeal the tribunal ruling in favour of Sheffield United, according to BBC Sport‘s news ticker.

The FA yesterday released a statement in which they said: ”There is no further right of appeal under FA rules.”

However, the East London club were apparently dissatisfied to learn that they may be forced to pay £30 million based on the tribunal’s assumption, for which they took advice from journalist Henry Winter, that they stayed up solely because of Carlos Tevez’s contribution and are prepared to take the case to the top.
